RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Packed with cherry and black currant flavors, this red is fruity and effusive. Firm, but the tannins are coated in flesh and the finish offers spice and mineral accents.

91Vinous / IWC

Sweet floral notes, raspberry jam, spice and new leather are all pushed forward in a succulent, inviting Bolgheri red with tons of near and medium term appeal. Silky tannins add to the wine's polished, sexy personality.

91Wine Enthusiast

...heady black currant, plum and clove aromas...smooth, juicy palate delivers ripe black cherry, tobacco and licorice flavors, with smooth, silky tannins.

REGION

Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri

Bolgheri is a tiny village just inland from the western Tuscan coast with a storybook renaissance castle but no train station. To wine enthusiasts, however, Bolgheri DOC is perhaps Italy’s most exciting wine appellation. It is the cultural heart of the Maremma, the coastal stretch of Tuscany where some of the first Super Tuscans were produced commercially in the late 1960s. Various members of the legendary Antinori wine dynasty and other influential producers established estates in Bolgheri starting in the 1970s, creating such Super Tuscans as Guado Al Tasso and Ornellaia. Bolgheri was awarded DOC status in 1983. Red, white and dessert wines are made in this appellations, and many of the most renowned are the Super Tuscans made from blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and other red varietals. The white wines are blends of Vermentino and Trebbiano. The reds are notable for being blends that have a distinctive Tuscan terroir.
